READER POV

We sat in silence for a while, working on our own seprate parts of the assignment, once the silence became to much I stood up walking to my music player and put on one of the bands i like, The Cure- definitely one of the best, no questions asked.

Michael looked at me a bit surprised, probably thinking I was gonna put on pop music. "What- do you not like it?" I asked, sitting back down in front of him. "No- just didnt think you liked this kind of music." He replied, going back to what he was doing.

I started humming along to the song subconsciously as i worked on the assignment. He looked up again, staring for a moment before looking back down when i looked at him and tilted my head in confusion.

After a while of being with him, I came to realize maybe the goth kids arent too bad- or at least he isnt, but still, they made me upset. Sometimes I wonder if ill ever have that kind of freedom..

He checked his phone every so often, probably texting his friends. After a while of this I started wondering if maybe he was talking shit about me. And I just decided to say what was on my mind.

3RD PERSON POV

"I really fucking hate you." Blurted out Y/N, looking at Michael. "The feeling is mutual." He responded, not looking up from his work. "Fucking princess." Michael rolled his eyes.

"Stop calling me that!" Yelled Y/N, "Fine do you prefer Doll?" He replied. "No- call me by my damn name you- emo bitch!" Said Y/N, clearly knowing what she was doing.

That caught his attention, he looked up at Y/N "I guess thats fair." He went back to doing his work, he was upset, but he wouldnt show it. "See- this is why i hate you!" Yelled Y/N again.

"You dont give a damn about anyone or anything!" Y/N started tearing up, "You get to do and say whatever you want because no one fucking cares." Michael, started getting a bit concerned.

He thought of a quick response, though didnt have the time to say it, and deciding it was best if he shouldnt. He knew her life wasnt perfect though- she always acted like it was.

"Im sorry- pretend i didnt say any of that! It was very selfish of me, Ill be back in a few minutes." Y/N smiled, before getting up to use the restroom, the rooms demeanor changing completely. Leaving Michael by himself, working on the project, a bit stunned.

MICHAEL POV

I sat there, watching as Y/N walked off, music still playing in the background. What the fuck just happened- I thought to myself. Picking up my phone I see more notifications from my friends.

"You dead yet?" Messaged Pete, rolling my eyes in response I replied, "No- she just fucking snapped at me- shes got some serious fucking issues. But what if she needs help?" staring at my phone waiting for a response.

"Jesus dude- youve caught that conformist disease... whatever were at the Village Inn." Pete finished, and I placed my phone down waiting for Y/N to come back.

Which she did return after a few minutes, once she did i stood up, walking over. "Cmon princess, were going somewhere" I said walking past her to the door, hoping shed follow.

And she did, reluctantly. "Where are we going?-" Asked Y/N as she followed. "Gonna go meet up with some people and do some shit." I replied, not really bothering to look back.

After walking for a while we finally made it to our destination. Im sure Pete had informed the other two of the current situation. I walked inside, with Y/N following.

Scouting out the area for my friends, i noticed them in out normal spot, Y/N still looking a bit confused. "Two more coffees." I said to the waitress as she walked by, rolling her eyes in response.

I motioned for Y/N to sit down and i sat down next to her. Henrietta and Firkle kind of just stared at her, not necessarily knowing what to say. Y/N looked at me and asked "Whyd you take me here?"

"Got bored." I lied, "Well then why the hell did you take me?" She asked another question. "Because youd be stuck working on that damn project all alone." I gave another dry response.

"And why the fuck do you care?" Asked Y/N, looking me in the eyes. "I dont. Youd just tell the teacher and itd just make things annoying for me." I had to come up with a quick lie, looking at henrietta and pete as they whispered something to each other.

She was about to speak again, but the coffee had arrived so she shut up, and thanked the waitress with some fake smile. Firkle stared as she poured tons of sugar and creamer in her coffee, "Thats fucking disgusting." Said the middle schooler looking at the sugar infested coffee in disgust.

"Arent you a bit young to be digesting that much coffee?" Y/N rolled her eyes looking at Firkle, "..bitch." Firkle said before taking out his phone and ignoring her. Y/N giggling a bit.

"I mean- its not bad when you put sugar in coffee." Said Pete, "Youre only saying that cause you also load your coffee with sugar and creamer" I said looking at pete rolling my eyes.

"Shut up Michael!" Pete said flipping me off, as he flicked his hair. I chuckled a bit.

Y/N POV

I stared as I watched Michael and Pete argue, looking over at Henrietta i decided to try starting small talk, "Hey- I really like your boots, whered you get them?" I asked, and i genuinely did like them.

She looked at me for a moment before responding, "Oh- uh i got them at the mall." Henrietta responded, trying to find out if i was being genuine or not.

We ended up chatting for a while, and i actually came to like them, they really arent that bad, honestly- much better than my other friends. I gave a small smile then got a notification on my phone.

"Oh shit-" In a panicked tone, "I have to get home now- im really sorry i completely forgot to do something. Placing some money on the table i said my goodbyes then left.
